Marathon Buddies support the NRS "Running for Runaways" Team

The Running for Runaways Team participated in LaSalle Bank’s 2006 Chicago Marathon on October 22nd. This year’s team of 14 runners raised over $11,000 for NRS.

The team was supported by a group of NRS staff and volunteers acting as Marathon buddies, who provided each runner encouragement before and during the Race. Additionally, a pasta dinner was sponsored by NRS the night before the marathon to acknowledge the team’s hard work.

The National Runaway Switchboard would like to thank and congratulate this year’s Running for Runaway Team: Jay Baldridge, Mustafa Hersi, Carol Kiley, Dan Klenkar, Tom Kusisto, Carlos Loyo, Ruben Loyo, Elizabeth Montalvo, Ben Nelson, Allison Nelson, Kristina Pierpont, Lloyd Shields, Bree Sutherland, and Rosalind Williams.
